See the benevolent, see the wise. [No pop-up novel network]

The Battle of Jeju Island, which lasted only 76 hours, has different meanings depending on the eyes of different observers.

The United States and Japan paid more attention to the performance of the Republican Navy, more precisely the aircraft carrier battle groups and submarine forces of the Republic Navy, rather than the ground battle.

After the "Republic" aircraft carrier was put into service, Western countries gave it a "high" evaluation in accordance with the usual practice.

According to the evaluation of the Western media, the comprehensive combat capability of the "Republic" surpasses that of the British Navy's "Queen Elizabeth" class and the French Navy's "Mitterrand" class and the medium-sized aircraft carriers born from the "PA2 program" of the "Mitterrand" class, and uses the same hull as the "Queen Elizabeth" class, second only to the US Navy's "Nimitz" class and "Ford" class, and is one of the most powerful aircraft carriers in the world.

After the "Huaxia" class aircraft carrier was subdued, Western countries have "intensified" their advocacy of the "China threat theory."

Only with strength can there be a threat, and without real it is not a threat to anyone!

The Western Navy has a completely opposite attitude to the media about how strong the aircraft carrier battle group is in the Republic Sea, especially the US Navy, which has always believed that the combat effectiveness of the Republic Navy is not as powerful as the media have touted. From the 90s of the 20th century to the mid-211s of the 20th century, the Navy of the Republic has only been in high speed for 30 years, and it has gone through less than 2 generations. No other navy has grown in such a short period of time to create a world-class fleet!

The most effective way to prove the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Republic Navy is a war.

The "South China Sea War" is not a real war, at most a maritime conflict. Because the belligerent opponents did not have a decent navy, the "Republic" aircraft carrier battle group participating in the war not only carried out mainly ground strike missions, but was not yet under real threat and could not demonstrate its real combat effectiveness.

Before the outbreak of the war on the peninsula. The Navy of the Republic sent three of its most powerful aircraft carrier battle groups to the East China Sea.

Although the republic and the United States because they can't afford to take risks. Neither is willing nor intent on making a big deal at sea. But the global news media want the world's most powerful aircraft carrier, the 2nd aircraft carrier, to fight it in earnest. Let's see if it's "Huaxia" level power. Or the "Ford" class is powerful.

The two sides confronted each other for hours. There is still no way to prove the combat effectiveness of the "Huaxia"-class aircraft carriers.

It comes at a time when the global news media are disappointed. The South Korean Navy replaces the U.S. Navy. Ascend to the stage of confrontation with the Navy of the Republic. Although the South Korean fleet does not have aircraft carriers. But other warships were very advanced. In the eyes of the Western media, which is good at making news. The confrontation between the two sides is the biggest news.

The results both shocked the Western media. It also shocked the US Navy.

In the absence of the use of shore-based aviation. Just one round. The Republic Ground Aircraft Carrier Strike Group used only half of the carrier-based aircraft and Air Wing ground fighters to defeat the South Korean fleet. All J-13 South Korean battleships!

Very amazing striking power.

On the 7th, the US Navy's Pacific Fleet conducted an undisclosed computer-simulated wargame exercise. There are two conclusions reached: First, under the same circumstances, the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group can only inflict heavy damage on the South Korean fleet and cannot achieve total annihilation; Second, under the same tactics, the Republic Navy can inflict heavy damage on the US Navy's three aircraft carrier battle groups with twice the strength of the force, and can achieve total annihilation with three times the strength of the force.

Later, some US Navy generals who participated in the war games privately said that if there was a conflict with the Republic Navy in the Yellow Sea during the outbreak of the Korean Peninsula War, even if the US Navy attacked first, all the dozens of warships of the three US aircraft carrier battle groups that entered the Yellow Sea would be sunk.

This wargame had an irreversible impact on the future construction of the US Navy.

In March 2025, the U.S. Navy launched the "Future Navy Program", emphasizing the importance of developing anti-ship missiles and anti-ship missile delivery platforms, and launched the "Future Sea Domination Tactical Weapons" development program, which clearly requires that the 2 carrier-based fighters under development must have the ability to carry "long-range anti-ship weapons" to carry out "sea domination missions".

For the U.S. Navy, this is definitely a very big shift.

Although the F35C can carry anti-ship missiles in an external way, the US Navy has not encountered a threat from the sea for decades, and has not paid much attention to the development and development of anti-ship weapons. Not to mention anything else, the AGM20 "Whaling Fork" series of anti-ship missiles developed in the 70s of the 84th century exhibited dozens of improved models, which were in service for decades and remained the "only" anti-ship missile of the US Navy until the 211 years of the 20th century. It can be seen from this that because there are no competitors, the US Navy does not attach importance to naval supremacy operations.

In addition to paying great attention to the republic's aircraft carrier battle groups, the US Navy is paying more attention to the republic's submarines.

Any "upcoming" navy will give priority to submarines. Strictly speaking, submarines are not "weapons for sea domination", but weapons for "undermining sea power". No matter how powerful and advanced a submarine is, it is impossible to gain sea supremacy, and it can only destroy the sea supremacy held by the enemy and weaken the enemy's ability to control the sea. Only after weakening the enemy's ability to control the seas can there be any hope of seizing power from the enemy

Germany in World War II and the Soviet Union during the Cold War both used submarines to fight the enemy's surface fleet.

The republic is no exception, and before the aircraft carrier battle group was put into service, the most powerful were submarines!

Unlike the two previous navies that challenged the world's number one navy, the Republican Navy has the most advanced submarine technology with the help of fusion reactors, composite batteries and superconducting electric motors. From the moment the "Swordfish" was born, the submarine forces of the republic had the strength to challenge any other naval submarine force.

During the "Battle of Jeju Island", the actions of the Republic's submarines once again attracted the attention of the US military.

Although it did not ambush the enemy's surface fleet as in the East China Sea War, the performance of the Republic's submarines in anti-submarine warfare was enough to put the US military to shame. The US Navy had to admit that if the three submarines had been ambushed by the Republic of China aircraft carrier battle group, the outcome would not have been much better than that of the ROK Navy's conventional submarines.

The performance of submarines is not as good as hand, and the US aircraft carrier battle group is not safe at all.

According to the prediction of the US Navy, the first consideration in dealing with the navies of the peace countries is not the threat from the air, but the threat from below the surface of the sea. Since the submarines of the Republic can track the most advanced attack nuclear submarines of the United States without noticing, they can also quietly break through the anti-submarine defense line of the US aircraft carrier battle group and shoot torpedoes under the belly of the aircraft carrier.

Compared with the "Future Sea Plan", the "S1" plan is more urgent.

In 2025, the U.S. Navy will apply for the 878 "Military Research Program Additional Grant", which will focus on scientific research areas closely related to the "S1" project, such as composite batteries, superconducting motors, and fusion reactors. Counting the more than 60 billion yuan invested in the regular budget, the total investment in scientific research funds is more than 11C0

We have to admit that the "sense of crisis" in the United States is very strong.

The naval battle between the Republic and Korea was not large-scale, but it provoked a series of reactions.

It is not only the United States that will be affected, but also Japan.

As an island nation, Japan places more emphasis on its navy than the United States.

Unlike the United States, Japan pays more attention to the air battle groups of the Republic Navy.

According to information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, just after the end of the "Battle of Jeju Island," Murakami Sadamasa ordered Admiral Tadaro Uesugi, who replaced Iwasaki Nobukawa, to organize a war game to simulate the course and outcome of the battle between the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group and the Republic aircraft carrier battle group.

The process is not important, the important thing is that the aircraft carrier battle group of the Japanese Navy was completely defeated!

Tadaro Uesugi, who had always been stern, did not deliberately tout the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy, but conducted a war game according to the principle of "fairness and justice". Under the condition of equal conditions, the strike capability of the 2 Japan Airlines is not even comparable to that of one "Huaxia"-class aircraft carrier. Even if they fought in the waters close to the Japanese mainland, the 2 "Akagi" class aircraft carriers were completely annihilated by the battle group composed of 3 "Huaxia" class aircraft carriers!

As a direct result of this war game, Japan has accelerated the construction of large aircraft carriers.

Although medium-sized aircraft carriers carrying conventional take-off and landing fighters have good attack capabilities, compared with large aircraft carriers, medium-sized aircraft carriers have huge problems in aviation combat efficiency, self-sustaining capability, and survivability. For example, a large aircraft carrier can dispatch 36 fighters for attack missions at a time, while a medium aircraft carrier can only make 12 to 20 sorties without arranging fleet air defense fighters.

In high-intensity naval battles, medium-sized aircraft carriers have no room to live!

In 2025, Japan's naval military spending will increase by 120% compared to 2024!

In addition to speeding up the construction of large aircraft carriers, the Japanese Navy has also accelerated the research and development of escort warships and supporting weapons. Aircraft carriers are not separate combat weapons, but the core strength of combat systems. Without a powerful escort fleet, no matter how powerful an aircraft carrier is, it is a target for missiles and torpedoes!

It may be impossible to say how much impact the "Battle of Jeju Island", especially the battle on the ocean, had.

Those who had previously doubted the actual combat strength of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Navy of the Republic all kept their mouths shut.

Now it is not the combat effectiveness of the Navy of the Republic that needs to be discussed, but how many aircraft carriers the Navy of the Republic intends to build!

According to the predictions of the Western media, the republic will accelerate the development of its navy after the war on the peninsula.

Some even predict that by 2030, the republic will replace the United States as the world's number one maritime power.

No matter what the Western media say, the most important thing for the republic is to end the war on the peninsula as soon as possible, return the country to normalcy, and minimize the negative impact of the war on the republic.

The attention of the news media also quickly turned to the war on the peninsula.

With the "Battle of Jeju Island" ending early, everyone is speculating about how and when the Republic Army will attack Seoul! (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
